Hi, I'm almost 500 miles from Vegas, way up in the North Western part of the state, at the base of the Sierras. Huge mountains on one side and desert on the other. The Southern part of the state is pretty, I lived in Vegas for 5 years! But I prefer to see a bit more green and my mountains, not the little hills they have down South LOL!
Okay, if the bear is still coming around and he's messing in garbage cans. That's your problem! He's looking for food. You either need to invest in bear proof garbage cans, or call your local wild life agency to relocate him. Bears get really brave very fast! They also have a very good sense of smell! If they can't find anything good in the garbage cans, or they want more, they break into your home to get food!
I'm not kidding at all. We have experienced this in this area for the last 15 to 20 years. At least 6 or 7 bears break into homes to get more food. We had one just last week that had to be shot inside of a home at Incline Village.

They are nice to look at in your yard, or at a distance, but things can turn bad really fast. Call your wildlife agency and inform them that you have a bear near your home. Please secure your garbage also!
